Joint Task Force (North) (JTFN) willconduct Operation NUNALIVUT 16 from 03 April to 22 April, 2016 in the Arctic, based out of the Canadian Armed Forces Arctic Training Centre (CAFATC) at Resolute Bay, Nunavut and Canadian Forces Station (CFS) Alert, Nunavut. The overall aim is to further enhance the Canadian Armed Forces' (CAF) knowledge and capacity to operate in austere locations and challenging environments, while allowing the CAF to demonstrate their ability to effectively respond to safety and security issues in the North.
Op NUNALIVUT 16 will be conducted with patrols on the land, on the sea ice, underwater, and in the air. lt will consist of approximately 225 CAF personnel, and may feature participation by international partners. To facilitate the conduct of the Operation, JTFN will establish a Task Force Headquarters in Resolute Bay consisting of approximately 15 members with an additional 50 support personnel.
A Canadian Army Company supported by members of 1 Canadian Ranger Patrol Group (1 CRPG) for a total of approximately 120 personnel will execute patrols on the sea ice to the northwest from Resolute Bay and near Grise Fiord, conducting training in Arctic survival skills and patrol Canadian Territory. A live fire exercise is planned to be conducted on the sea ice.
A Dive Team consisting of 20 personnel from the Royal Canadian Navy's Fleet Diving Unit (Atlantic) will be conducting both manned dive operations in CFS Alert. This activity will have a support team of approximately 20 personnel. ln addition, the Dive Team will evaluate its cold weather diving ensembles and ice diving tactics, techniques and procedures.
A combination of commercial, CC-177 Globemaster, CC138 Twin Otter, CC-130 and LC-130 Hercules aircraft, along with contracted or military helicopters based in Resolute Bay and Alert, NU, and Yellowknife, NT, will provide transportation, resupply and if required, casualty evacuation services. Ground patrols will be snowmobile mounted, complete with qamutiks in tow.
No permanent structures will be erected. Military tent structures will be erected at temporary field camps for each of the patrol groups and dive team. As a part of winter survival training, shelters will be constructed using existing snow by patrolgroups.
Allwaste and refuse will be returned to CAFATC for proper disposal.
Protected and sensitive areas within the patrols' operational boxes will be avoided and a minimal distance of 100 meters shall be observed when in proximity of these areas. dÞr CÞrr9c où-9c 2016
